Baked Acorn Squash

Ingredients

4 medium-sized acorn squash

16 teaspoons honey

8 tablespoons butter or margarine

Fresh ground pepper to season

Slice the squash in half crosswise and scoop out the pulp and seeds. Trim the bottoms, if necessary, so that the squash will stand hollow side up.

Place 2 teaspoons honey in the hollow of each squash, then add 1 tablespoon butter or margarine to each and a twist or two of fresh ground pepper.

Place squash in a large, shallow baking pan and bake, uncovered, in a moderate 350 degree oven for about 2-½ hours, or until the squash are tender.
